Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham have reportedly ended their family feud with their son, Brooklyn, this week. The former England captain and Manchester United star has lived with his wife, Nicola Peltz, while his parents continue to reside in their Oxfordshire Cotswolds home, enjoying a quieter countryside life with animals such as chickens.

Reports over recent months suggested tensions had risen between Brooklyn and the rest of the family, with the couple absent from Sir David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year. National outlets claimed the family had been “torn apart” by disagreements over Brooklyn’s decisions and lifestyle.
However, the rift appears to have been resolved, with Sir David and Victoria reaching out publicly on social media. Both parents liked Brooklyn’s recent Instagram post, which showed him making buttermilk pancakes, signalling a thaw in relations. Lady Beckham further emphasised the family’s commitment to communication on the Call Her Daddy podcast, stating that open dialogue is always “a safe forum” for their children.

Lady Beckham added that their children are encouraged to “go on their journeys themselves” and praised their individuality. She said: “We’ve always been that way with the kids. I’m excited for them; they all like to do different things.” The Beckhams’ apparent reconciliation marks a positive turn after months of speculation about family tensions.
